djay by Algoriddim is an excellent music-mixing application for the iPad we reviewed in December that, with a beautiful user interface design and powerful features, managed to become the top solution for all those looking for a serious, yet accessible DJ solution on the tablet. Today Algoriddim is releasing an updated version of djay for iPad, as well as a brand new iPhone counterpart that brings the djay experience to smaller screens without compromising the usability and design of the app.

First off, djay for iPad got a major update (version 1.1) that adds auto, manual and bounce looping, 3 additional cue points and an improved library search to find songs that you’d like to mix. The update also adds compatibility with Bluetooth audio devices, extended support for AIFF and WAV files thanks to iOS 4.3 and a series of bug fixes meant to address the memory issues of the app. We wonder how well will this thing run on an iPad 2. djay for iPad is a $19.99 download in the App Store.

djay for iPhone, on the other hand, takes the basic principles of the iPad version and brings them to a smaller screen that should still enable you to mix your songs on the go. The turntable interface is still the same, as well as many of the commands and menus on screen. Only one turntable is displayed on the iPhone in portrait mode, to keep the experience as streamlined and elegant as possible. Two buttons at the bottom allow you to switch between songs, check how much time is left and regulate the volume output. Many of the other features of djay for iPad such as BPM auto-sync, equalizers and pre-cueing have been successfully ported to the iPhone, too.

djay for iPhone is available in the App Store at $9.99. Check out the promo video below.
